A very long letter, dated Frankfort, the lath July, was received by a gentleman in this to', who kindly permit ted us to make a short extract, as tonching a matter that cannot fail to prove interesting to the public. " Of the unhappy exit of Beauchamp and his wife, you have doubtless heard ere this thimigh the medium of the public prints. It is Still the topic of conversation here, and, although there are few who do not admit the justice of the destiny of the ill-fated pair, still I assure you there is a very strong feeling of sympathy excited, and their me lancholy story not unfrequently receives the tribute of a tear, even in the very spot where the unhallowed deed was committed. Mrs. Beauchamp, I understand,. was origi nally from LOudoun county (Virginia), and came into our State with her father, on whom ill fortune press e d w i t h heavy hand; the result of which was dissipation, and, lastly, death, leaving a wife and this young lady, the only surviv ing child, in very dependent circumstances. " Miss Cook was a young and lovely woman, with a sylphlike figure, a countenance the most sweet and expres sive I ever beheld. She was liberally educated, and her genius and mind towered far beyond her more wealthy as sociates. I-ler thoughts were as free as the air she breathed, and those -whose souls never travelled beyond the dull and ordinary pursuits of life, did not scruple to affirm, that her free thoughts ruined her. It is said that Colonel Sharp once addressed her—that,however, is not positively known ; but it is .well known that he seduced her. When a woman, like her, gives her heart, all else is but too apt to follow. She had a child, and her seducer was soon after married to another woman. This perfidy stung her to the soul; her health became impaired for a time, and the gay and lively girl, whose society most men courted and women feared, drooped like a lily blighted by the storm. ' Anti this is woman's fate— • All her affections arc called Into life By winning flatteries, and then thrown back Upon themselves, to perish ; and her heart, Her trusting heart, filled with weak tenderness, Is left to bleed or break.' " It was for some time feared that her reason had lost its empire , she gradually recovered, however, and her hand was sued for by young Beauchamp, a very sprightly and interesting youth, to whom she was united. Before her marriage, she ingenuously told him of th e ca la m ity th a t had befallen her, and he as generously buried it in oblivion; and, when the recollection of her wrongs did not intrude themselves upon her, she lived comparatively contented. `With the politics of our State much personal acrimony is blended, and the seduction of Miss Ct• was charged upon Colonel S. to his prejudice. Mrs. Sharp and her mother were very vindictive upon the subject; to quiet whom it is said that Colonel S. exhibited certificates from the ac- coucheur that the child of Miss Cook was a mulatto ; and' those ladies very imprudently:talked of it, as having seen the certificates to that effect. This information was con vqed to Beauchamp in a letter, which letter Mrs. Beau champ got and read,just as her husband was entering the door. As soon as the damning intelligence met her eye, she sunk in a chair for a minute or two, and, and denly recovering herself, she extended her arms upwards,. her dark eyes flashing fire terrible as the lightning of Hea-. veni—' Oh, my God! this demands vengeance! ven geance ! See I see !' said she, handing the letter to her, husband—' Charlotte Corday struck a tyrant down, and she is lauded in history ; if' I kill the villain I shall be loaded with obloquy, and branded as a murderess.' Beau champ took the letter, and read it; then taking his wife's . . hand, and looking her full in the face, said, in — a slow and emphatic manner, My much injured, my much insulted Ann, his doom is sealed!' With this declaration she seem ed appeased. Her whole heart was now fixed on revenge so much so, that her countenance underwent a great change, losing all its sweetness and placidity, and her husband said at times he almost feared to look on it. " After his return from accomplishing the deed, she met him at the threshold, and throwing her:mins wildly round his neck, vehemently asked, ' is it done ?'—then putting both her hands before her face, she said, God is just, and I am revenged !'—and, sitting on a chair, she sobbed most piteously for half an hour. It did seem as if she relented for a time, and she once expressed her fears, that the vengeance Was too terrible and too dearly bought. " From the moment she went to the dungeon i with her husband, all , thought of self was lost stopt at no hpettiiinafduli,lobtitititnglietlopedhosptioee beguilefrom mtile him until mency of the Governor. It was - then she endeavoured to arm him with fortitude, to instil into his mind contempt for death, and how much more it would become him, as a man, to die by , i h w is ii r d n ie h , a v t i l t d l , l r y a o tl t t i e . r sa th id an s b h y that , of p had sameu l soared a sr ei( the hangman. generOusly shared my unhappy destiny in' life—l :Tit al y te o ; you how cheerfully I will unite mine with your's in death.

The officers accordingly proceeded in their examination of the premises : they at once discover ed that the house had been entered by theimirderers by the expedient of taking .a small pane of glass out of the win dow that led into the wash-house, and removing . a very slight iron bar. None of the property below stairs ap peared to have been touched, for every thing was in the same state as had been observed by some of the neigh bours a few days previously to the murder. The officers then ascended into the rooms up stairs, one of which, at the head of the staircase, the female slept in, at the ex treme of which was a door leading into that occupied by the old man. On entering this room, the unfortunate woman was observed lying on the flat of her back, with her feet towards the door. There was a pool of blood surrounding her head, the back part of which was fr ac . tured in a shocking manner, apparently by a blow of a heavy bludgeon, or some blunt instrument. There were black marks on her neck, as if an attempt had been made to strangle her; and one of her hands was , bruised, ap parently in consequence of holding it up to avert the blows of her inhuman murderer. From the position is which the body was lying it would appear that the poor old creature was in lie e 6 ...room, immediately adjoining that in which her ; erer lay; and that, hearing a noise below stairs o ens getting into the house, she arose, and in her fright was about to seek the protection of the old man, and had just time to enter the door of his room, when she received theblow on the back part of the skull, which fractured it, and laidher prostrate on the floor. To the right of the door the body of the old man lay ex ) tended on the bed, to which he had been confined for the last few years. It presented a shacking speetsele— both of the hands were raised up over his head, as if 'defending it from the blows of the murderer. The, knuckles, and across the back part of the hands, were dreadfully lacerated ; and on the right side of his head, a little above the ear, appeared the wound that had caused his death. The bed-clothes were streaming with gore, and his night-cap, which was lying close alongaide the pillow, was saturated in blood. The horrible sight wan calculated to sicken the heart, and as soon as the officers had minutely examined each of the bodies, they proceeded to search the room, in order to discover whether the mur derers had left behind them any clue by which it would be possible to trace them. Nothing, however, was found to throw the slightest possible light on the discovery of the perpetrators, although every atom of the house was mi nutely examined from top to bottom. The chests in the upper rooms occupied by the deceased persons were , found to have been rummaged, but none of the property which they contained, consisting of clothes, together with the will of the old man, bequeathing his little cottage and spot: of ground to his daughter, were touched. On questioning several of the persons who reside in the neighbourhood, and who, it appears, were well acquainted with the de ceased, it did not seem that a vestige of property belonging to the old people had been taken off the premises. Indeed, there was nothing of any value in the place that could possibly induce any person to have committed so dreadful a crime in the expectation of acquiring much plunder. Notwithstanding the vigilance of the above-muned Ma , gistrates, all of whom have been indefatigable in their ex ertions in procuring some clue to the perpetrators of so atrocious a murder, nothing yet has transpired to throw any light on the horrible affair. We understand that about three Years ago the old people had been robbed by a man who was subsequently tried and convicted for the offence. Since the murder a rumour has gone abroad that this indi vidual was seen in the neighbourhood of Epsom a few days prior to the tragical event. In fact, there are a thou sand vague reports flying about on the subject of the mur der, but as yet we can positively assert that the chief cir cumstances of the murder still remain involved in mystery. The Rev. Mr. Rolland had hand-bills immediately printed and distributed, offering a reward for the apprehension of the perpetrators of this most diabolical murder. It is expected that the Coroner's Jury will sit on the bodies of the deceased on Monday or Tuesday next. MELANCHOLY CASE of HYDROPHOBI A. We are sorry to announce another case of this dreadful disorder; similar in many. respects to one which occurred here a few weeks ago. In both cases the tuthapll - victims met their deaths by the bites of cats. The sufferer in this ease was Ann Baldwin, aged about 53 years, who resided in Briercliffe'a Buildings, (ravel lane, Salford, and was generally employed as a washerwo man. It appears, that about three months ago she was washing at Mr. Woolley's, in Broughton-street, (not one hundred yards from the place where ;Mr. Vaughan was bitten), when a strange cat entered the wash-house, and was attacked by two of Mr. Woolley's dogs. Mrs. Bald win endeavoured to extricate- the cat, when it fixed its teeth upon the fore-finger of her right hand, and inflicted a very severe wound. The animal appears to have been, at the time, greatly enraged, as it was not without consi derable difficulty that her hand was liberated from its jaws. Though the wound was painful, she continued at her em ployment during the remainder of the day; but it increas ed in soreness, inflammation succeeded, 'and continued about a week, extending up the fore-arm. Until Friday, however, she continued to follow her usual occupation ; but on that day the pain extended to her back and shoul ders, and was accompanied by frequent shivering% end ex treme irritability. Early on Friday morning Mr. Fernley visited her, and found her labouring under an evident spas modic. affection of the muscles of the throat. This was considerably aggravated by an offer of any thing to swal low ; which, she remarked, would certainly , choke her. It was with considerable difficulty that she could show her tongue, and when she had done so, she invariably seemed to feel ashamed, and hid her face.

Yesterday morning the whole of the immediate country ,n.the neighbourhood of Leatherhead, was thrown into a state of considerable excitation and horror, in consequence of the barbarous murder of two aged individuals, who re sided on the borders of Fetchainscommon, within two miles of Leatherhead, and at a short distance off the high road to Guildford. The names of the unhappy persons are John Arkhurst, a helpless old man, aged 96, and his house keeper, Elizabeth Haines, aged 74. They inhabited a cot tage in the midst of a small orchard, in a very solitary and lonely situation, being at least a quarter of a mile from any other habitation. It was generally rumoured in the neigh bourhood, that the old mall was possessed of some pro perty, as the house and some acres of laud adjoining, it, were in his possession, and it is supposed that the mis creants were prompted to the commission of the murder in the expectation of finding money, • the produce of the fruit, which bad been extremely plentiful this season in the grounds belonging to the poor old man. The murder, which was perpetrated either on Thursday night, or early on Friday morning, was first discovered by a lad, named Brown, who resided at one of the neighbouring cottages, , and who, it appeared, had been recently employed by the deceased to gather in his crop of apples. This lad, it seems, left his house on Friday morning at six o'clock, for the purpose of commencing his daily work on the old man's premises. When he came near the cottage he called out the name of Elizabeth Haines as was his custom, and not receiving an answer, as he was accustomed, front the old woman, he approached nearer the house, and was astonish ed on observing the door leading into the house, as well as one of the windows on the ground-floor, wide open. He at once suspected that something dreadful had happened, having repeatedly called the inmates by their names, rind received no answer. The boy then hurried off with all the speed he could to inform his parents of the circumstance. His mother accompanied him back to the cottage; and on her entrance observing no one below, site proceeded up stairs, and at the head of the staircase, on looking where the old man slept, the door being wide open, she was shocked on beholding the lifeless corpse of Elizabeth Haines. Mrs. Brown was so much terrified, that she ran down s and immediately sent off to Mr. Gibbs , a gen temployment her husband worked. Mr. Cilcbilln horror-struck on wit nessin g the bodies of the two old pee oilatisi lost ti 7litwhose i : 10 time in visiting the scene of murder, and was V pie, which were m utilated in a shockin g manner. That gen tleman at once despatched messeng e r s t o t he differen t county Magistrates res ide n t in the immediate nei g hbourhood, a n d in less than a n hoitr from the discovery of the murder ,the following gent lemen in the commission of the peace here on the spot—viz. the 'Rev. Mr. Bolland, the R ector o f Fetcham ; Hankey, Esq., and the Rev. Mr. Heber deo ; all of whom te stified their ho r ro r on entering the dwelling and beholding the sad spectacle that presented itself. Information was also despatched to Union-hall police-office, by the Rev. Mr. Bolland, who communicated the fact of the murder in a letter addressed to the sitting; Magistrates, and requesting two of the officers l to un mediately sent down.
